Joan Rivers Great Hair Day

Brooklyn50 — Sun, 13 Apr 2014 23:32:08 GMT

I'm 55, diabetic (don't know if that or diabetes meds) have anything to do with this, but I'm noticing thinning hair on the sides of my head. I know Lisa swears by this product, but would love to hear the good and/or bad if you've used or are using this. Thanks!

It works very well. Lost my hair to chemo and now that I take meds for 5 years my hair is very fine and thin and my parts are a little wider than before. It's easy to apply and stays until you wash your hair.

I tried it to use to cover the greys on my hair line, etc., in between tints.

Conclusion: Waste of $.

1) it stinks! Smells horrible!

2) it breaks-up and crumbles and is very messy you can't use it so I threw it away.

Now, I use hair mascara to cover greys until my next appt.

Save your $.

Unlike Skylands, I notice no smell at all with the Great Hair Day. I have used it for a couple of years and have gone through three of them with no issues. I have dark brown hair and I can use either the brunette or the dark blonde. It stays on better than other products of this type. I also have a "spray" type from Nick Chavez and it works well too and is a little quicker to use but it will run if I get caught in the rain.

I love the great hair day for just filling in my part and making my hair look fuller on top.

It is NOT designed to cover gray hairs, roots or any hair. It goes on your scalp to create shadow. Many of the bad reviews I read are from people who thought the product was something else.

I highly recommend this. I'm starting menopause and I noticed some thinning on top and sides. I make several parts going back ....from ear to ear dabbing powder along each part. I swear by this too No fallout, no odor, no scalp showing now!

I've used it and I think it works great. My advice though is to not go very dark. As with everything it comes out darker than what you see.

I have brown hair (maybe light brown) definitely not blonde, but I use the blonde color. If they have a very light brown I'd order that. You can always send it back.

If you want to you can order two colors and send one back. I did that.

This product has been on my "must have" list for years. Makes my hair look much fuller, and it definitely will cover "some" gray hair. It's not made for that, but I've noticed that I can do a touch up after styling my hair and the gray stays covered. I know two different ladies who use it on their brows, and it looks good. Amazing how well this powder stays in place until you take it off.

I've seen some ladies here complain about odor and cracking of the product. I've gone thru numerous containers of this product and have never had that experience. The product has absolutely zero smell, and it's such a soft powder I don't know how it could be hard enough to crack. Makes me think they are not using Joan Rivers, but a dupe.

This product DOES crumble somewhat, but it does what I need it to do so I can live with this weakness. I DO use it to cover grays and it does it beautifully. I just gently comb it through once applied for a more natural application look. It does it well.

I have used this product and it doesn't have any smell at all. It does what Joan Rivers says - fills in where you need it.

I like it. Have been through 3 trays and need to order more. I use the dark blonde even though my hair is a medium brown. Very nice product. I have never noticed a smell.

Every time I use it, I thank Joan for her great product! I use it in between colorings to cover my gray hair. I find that it works on both my hair and scalp. I have not noticed an odor.

Love it, wouldn't be without it!!!!!!!!!!

To me there's no offensive smell at all and I've had no problem with crumbling. It works perfectly, just as advertised.

I have been using it for years! It's the best thing since sliced bread! It goes on easy, doesn't run and doesn't come off on my pillow case. Will never be without it!

Unless you have very dark hair, I advise using the dark blond. My hair is medium brown with blond highlights and that's the shade I use.

Also, my hair stylist recommends this for many of her customers.

Can't be without this product. I use the blonde, I have dark brown hair. It does cover my grays and the trick I use is instead of the brush, I rub a tissue over the compact and rub what's on the tissue over the places I show gray (mainly my bangs). It covers the gray and lasts all day. I love this to fill in the scalp when I wear my hair swept up or in a ponytail. I don't notice a smell and it lasts a long time.

I use a cotton ball instead of the brush for application. I just swipe it across the product and then dab the cotton ball whereever I have scalp showing through.

I would use the brush for eyebrows though!

I am afraid to use this on my brows--does it REALLY stay on w/out flaking...running or smearing??

I like this product. I use it to cover roots. Works very well.
